Selven watched as Grain stepped back from the bloodied remains of the beast, then turned and stumbled into the forest. The Dwarf's torment was so clearly written on his face that it was painful for the Elf to see.

Selven turned hurriedly to Nalin. "Tell the others I've gone to get Grain. Aravorn said to leave this accursed place and head to our old campsite that stands some five miles closer to the road. Elentari's not up to leading the band yet. She'll need a day or two to rest. Can you help Aravorn get the others moving in an hour or so and set up camp? I'll follow along with Gráin."

Nalin nodded his head in agreement, "I'll take Vráin with me. Aravorn will help Elentari if she needs it."

With that, Selven turned and vanished into the forest as he carefully followed in Gráin's tracks.
